“Drumsong”

Gary Kwapisz's cover for issue #221 plunges you straight into tribal chaos — a war-painted Conan charges through a sea of spears and skulls while a massive, bone-necklaced warrior looms behind him, mallet raised against a backdrop of roaring flames. The tagline "Death Is Only a Drumbeat Away…" sets the mood perfectly for Larry Hama's story "Drumsong," promising a tale steeped in rhythm and violence. This 1989 Marvel entry is a vivid snapshot of the series at full throttle.
